IRIS Explorer Announcements

Mac port available	IRIS Explorer now available for Mac OS X IRIS Explorer Release 5.2 is now available for the Mac OS X platform. IRIS Explorer is one of the first modular, multi-purpose visualization environments for Mac users. See our press release for details.
Release 5.2	IRIS Explorer Release 5.2 now available for Linux For users with Linux platforms, there is a maintenance release, called IRIS Explorer 5.2. This has been built under Red Hat 8.0 and incorporates bug fixes and improved support for some modules. This maintenance release is an improvement over IRIS Explorer 5.0 on this platform, since that was built under Red Hat 6.1 and shows some incompatibilities with later distributions of Linux. The next platform for IRIS Explorer 5.2 is scheduled to be 64-bit AMD Opteron. Whilst the Linux build of IRIS Explorer will run on the Opteron in 32-bit mode, a special build is required to take full advantage of the 64-bit architecture. IRIS Explorer 5.2 for Opteron will meet this requirement. A further release for other platforms with additional features is also planned.

Release 5.0	IRIS Explorer Release 5.0 now available IRIS Explorer Release 5 is now an even more powerful tool for developing customised visualization applications. It's faster, easier to use and gives a more extensive choice of visualization techniques. New features in IRIS Explorer 5.0 include: New interactive demos, many more example maps/templates, new search facilities and improved data input mean it's even easier to develop powerful visualization applications. Because of a new internal architecture, better algorithms and the ability to compile modules together, developers will also find that IRIS Explorer 5.0 is orders of magnitude faster, especially on the Windows NT platform. In addition, over 40 new modules give developers even more building blocks for creating customised applications. There are also two new tools for data input and packaging of applications. You can get an overview of IRIS Explorer 5 from the Release Notes which describe the new features and the benefits for users in detail.
